Helpful hint for those with Ashton Bailey or similar tailpiece

[Panama_Red]

For those that have an Ashton Bailey tailpiece that are frustrated with changing strings, here is a big help. If you are one of us that use grommets to suppress sympathetic string vibration, do this when you change strings. Use one of the grommets to keep string loops from popping off.

Neat! Now I'll have to dig around in my junk drawer to find those grommets that I no longer use. (I use a piece of leather lace).

Excellent idea. Simple things are best.

I would use leather too, but do you know how hard it is to find leather boot laces these days?

What type of string end do you recommend for the Ashton Bailey, loop or will the ball fit the tailpiece
